Adding More Lift

I just rec'd it, haven't installed yet.
OZ can tell you exactly what that kit yields.

Until he gets back, I'll guess at it.....
I think he got 2-1/2" in the front and the Dakar is advertised at 2-3/4", all with no spacers, I believe.
That's a nice, honest "spring lift" for the Tacoma.

I don't like the look of those half shaft angles when the lifts get pushed too far.

 

ok, that's sounds like it's what i want. i won't be buying anything for a few more months but i'm doing my research now. been reading alot and asking alot more. lol thanks

 

I Couldnt come close to that. I must be missing a kit deal or something

 

Yup , on my DCLB 4x4 , the 885X's with no spacers got me 2 1/2" up front , the Dakars got me 2 3/4" out back .

In the 8 months since I have had the lift on , the front has not settled at all , the rear settled 1/2" with the addition of a full time cap and hauling loads of material

 

jflan did not get the Dakars , they add about $400 on their own

 

ok i was gonna say. all of that came up to be $1800+

 

Spindles if not 4x4

 

Good point.
OP ?

 

if i got the UCA's, could i put bilsteins the whole way up?

 

or could i just go this route and not get new UCA's?

 

1. Are you a Prerunner ?

2. Yes you could, but you are probably going to have a stiff ride.
Do you understand the performance difference between a preloaded spring and a non-preloaded spring ?

 

Remember that the general consensus is that once you get to 2-1/2" of lift you start losing caster adjustment. I think that lift uses a little pre-load and a little spring to get to 3" which would require UCA's to restore caster.

 

nvrmnd

 

no it's 4x4. so 2.5 is the most you think? I think i'd be ok with that

 

1. You would have to decide on how you want to get there budget-wise.

2. You could try aligning it with the 2.5
You probably won't get it all back, but you could drive it and see how it tracks/handles without new UCA's.

It would be interesting to see your alignment results.

 

there's just so many options
i want to A. keep my truck from something cheap that could damage the truck B. Give it a lift that's comfortable, noticeable, and looks good. and C. Not pay a fortune for it

 

I'm running 5100s front and rear, 885X Springs and a 2" AAL with Light Racing UCAs...can clear 33s all day
